[Verse 1]
She came looking for me with her arms open wide
Like some long lost friend of mine
She said 'Excuse me, but do you remember me ?
I said 'No, I don't believe I do
So she looked me up and down
And undressed me with her eyes
Then she said 'You've got everything I need, you've got everything I want
So I said 'OK
[Chorus 1]
You can wear my hat
You can have my coat
You can take my shirt
'Cause I don't need it
You can wear my shoes
You can take my socks
Come on take my bag it's yours
[Chorus 2]
If you love it
You can have it if you love it
Ain't no problem if you love it
Come on take it if you love it
[Verse 2]
So her friend came up to me
With a pen and paper in her hand
Expressing some interest in the number of my room
She said 'Excuse me, but do you remember me?
I said 'No,' she said 'Can I appeal to you?
So I looked her up and down
And realising her insinuations I blushed
She said 'Listen babe you don't know me
No you don't know me but you owe me
[Bridge]
And I love you
And I love you
Put your arms around me 'cause I love you
I got all your records and I love you
So I suggested
[Chorus 1]
You can wear my hat
You can have my coat
You can take my shirt
'Cause I don't need it
You can wear my shoes
You can take my socks
Come on take my bag it's yours
[Chorus 2]
If you love it
You can have it if you love it
Ain't no problem if you love it
Come on take it if you love it
[Verse 3]
Well later on that day this guy came to me
With a scrap of paper in his hand
He said 'Hey buddy can you sign your name for me?
I said 'Why, do I owe you money?' He said 'No'
I said 'Listen pal do I know you? Have we ever met?
Why do you want my name on this little piece of paper?
[Bridge]
He said 'I love you
I don't know you but I love you
Like my brother I love you
Put your arms around me 'cause I love you
I said 'Hey let's not rush things
[Chorus 1]
You can wear my hat
You can have my coat
You can take my shirt
'Cause I don't need it
You can wear my shoes
You can take my socks
Come on take my bag it's yours
[Chorus 2]
If you love it
You can have it if you love it
Ain't no problem if you love it
Come on take it if you love it
[Outro]
You can wear my hat
You can wear my hat
